#Had a bunch of ideas but then they just poofed out of existence

[whereismyhat5678]

I always take long periods of time to draw in my actual sketchbook which makes me kinda sad since I’m not using it as much as I would like. But I guess it’s alright since I get to see jump cuts in how much I’ve improved..

Here some that I did just now and that I think are pretty okay:

And I haven’t drawn Pizza Head in a while, and WHOOPTY-FRICKEN-DOO I FORGOT HOW TO DRAW HIM

I’m so upset for not being able to draw him like I used to I’M SO DISAPPOINTED. I guess that just means I gotta learn how to again. Tough times ✌️😗

Sorry for the ramble, just feeling things- anyways hope y’all have a nice night 🫶💕

Screw it, infodumping abt my AEG au because I have a lot of thoughts actually

*Prefacing this by saying: if you don't like this particular show, just keep off this post

(Most) events that happened in the other two series are canon to my au, but they happened without the characters who are children and therefore quite a few things are different. All of these events happened before the children came along or while they were incredibly young. Emily has her scottish accent in this btw, her AEG voice is great but it pains me that they didn't make her scottish. The events of AEG take place in modern day (based off of small observations, and Nia knowing what an emoji is).

One day, for an unexplained reason that still hasn't been fully figured out, a bunch of little machines just...showed up. All over the world. It caused a lot of confusion and panic, stations and companies were exchanging phone calls like mad to try and figure something out. They came to a worldwide consensus: the children will be adopted out to older machines who will become their new parents, and the parents will be guided to raise the children while the humans try to figure out what the cause is. This resulted in some not so great scenarios, and a lot of switching around, some machines just aren't fit to raise young kids. It's hard for all of them, even the good parents. These are the first machine children ever after all.

Sodor became a far more relaxed place with the introduction of the machine children, most places had to put in new laws and adapt, which includes the island. They had to create regulations to protect the children as well as invent a system to keep the new families in order, to track who is whose child. For the first few years they had rules set to keep the children from working, but they quickly discovered that it's instinct for them to work as much as it is their adult counterparts. They started to get antsy being forced to stay in the yard because they're meant to move and work. They get unhappy if they have to sit around all day.

So, when the kids got a little older, they started to get small jobs with the supervision of parents or other older machines. They all became far happier and so they were allowed to keep working and helping out around the island. Nowadays they don't have constant supervision and are trusted to work by themselves, so that they can already be adjusted to working by themselves before they get older. Some voice concerns considering the frequent mistakes, but they're assured that these mistakes are part of the learning process, better they make them as little engines than as larger ones that can do more damage.

All of the kids are around 10 years old at the start of the show's events, Sandy poofed into existence a tiny bit later so she's more around 8. Ages obviously subject to changing as time goes on in the series.

A very random tidbit based on how ADORABLE the episode Something To Remember was: Yong Bao, while not a father himself, is very very fond of engine children. He thinks they're all a wonderful gift to this earth and he's always thinking of Sodor's little ones. Does frequent babysitting for the few on his railway back in China that do have kids when he's not on the job himself. ...SERIOUSLY HOW CUTE IS THIS THOUGH:

And for reference, the family set-ups I have at the moment (might be subject to change) are: Gordon and Henry- Thomas and Percy's adoptive fathers. Gordon was a bit apprehensive as he isn't the fondest of children and doubted his ability to be a father, but he ended up being a very good father. Henry is the softer one and he has trouble being stern, so he appreciates his partner's ability to be tough with the kids. Percy and Thomas are sometimes a bit more than their fathers can handle, but they're a very tightly knit family and they love each other a lot. Emily- Adoptive mother of Diesel and Bruno, she had actually always wanted children of her own and didn't mind the idea of raising a diesel engine. She's determined to raise him to have no prejudice towards other types of engines, and she does her best to help Bruno learn to adjust to new things, she knows it can be hard for him after all. Also stands in as the caretaker of Nia, who was brought to Sodor when she was about 5 years old as her original mother from Kenya ended up being unable to handle the pressure of raising a child after a few years once it really set in, and Sodor had the room to take an extra kid. Cranky- Adoptive father of Sandy and Carly, originally just Carly's father until Carly uncovered Sandy and ended up attached to her. He was very against the idea of having a kid at first, but as the only other crane on Sodor (with the exception of Bereseford, but he just couldn't take a kid at all for unspecified reasons), Sir Topham Hatt managed to talk him into trying it out for Carly's sake. Now he adores both of his daughters and does his best to be there for them even as a stationary crane. Hiro- Kana's adoptive father, also a father figure towards Kenji. Kana stays on Sodor as part of an exchange program sort of deal, but she makes the occasional visits to Japan to spend more quality time with her father and older brother. Kenji does the same when visiting Sodor, Hiro tries to as well but he can't come as often as Kenji can. Hiro adores both of his children even if they're a bit fast and far more futuristic than himself, and he does his best to keep in touch with Kana. She's his special little girl!

more stuff from my paint folder under the cut with varying levels of explanation

my owlfolk rogue d&d character as a shitty little baby because baby birds look miserable and it's funny

shut up

a square full of bugs

weird arcade cabinet thing from a dream i had. i didn't draw it on here but it had sonic underground decals and stuff and as prizes it'd print off stickers and random screenshots from the show that'd come out that side thing. i don't know why but it had a trackball

i was doodling a bunch of critters for some reason. i think it was low-key inspired by @mossworm's art and in my head it was for some kind of critter collection game idea

i forget what this is about but i think it speaks for itself. despite being in the paint folder it was very clearly not drawn in paint

dinosaurs in love

again not a paint drawing but a manic i drew on drawception

tails lost in the sauce (a plant poofed a fuck ton of pollen right in his face and he is not having a good time)

i drew this while sleep deprived and proceeded to break down into a laughing fit. no i don't know what it is and it's called god.png

a miscellaneous character i have named gordy gatorman. he's gay and owns a bakery

the same doodle of my owlfolk rogue plus two more things (she hates everyone)

i don't have an explanation for this one i just thought the belt attached to scourge's coat was stupid (you know this is old because of my "colored lineart only" phase)

i think the original text for this was slightly nsfw but this is funnier actually

"hjpt ;leg.png"

one of my many interpretations of a human sonic, this one leaning more into "grumpy teenager" than anything else. i usually don't draw humans so this is surprisingly nice looking

there's 3 more panels to this but i just wanna acknowledge those sad lobsters in the dirty ass tank at the grocery store. they looked so sad and i always wanted to take them home

it me

me and my @kinslee-the-normal-human's oc. we used to rp a lot and they'd get into all sorts of bullshit with mr. tall echidna always being like i told you this would happen and being generally upset about it but his teeny tiny girlfriend could not care less. this time it was about vampires but he's just vibing

one of my ocs just kinda turns into fire when he goes super and i thought the idea of his clothes burning off was hilarious

hard to explain but my friend made an au where like every possible fusion of two characters that could exist did exist all at once in a weird little sci-fi society and we roleplayed it a ilttle bit. my main character for it was an amy/manic fusion named pippin and they had anxiety

in the background you can see salyut (he was actually made for this au as a shadow/biolizard fusion), maroon (a shadow/knuckles fusion), and... man i forget his name but he was a sonic/shadow fusion. the character in the second to last panel is a mephiles/tikal fusion who was part of the evil sci-fi government or whatever and she scared pippin a lot. i might repurpose pippin because they're very cute

@kinslee-the-normal-human told me that you can tell if someone is a furry based on how they draw dogs so i drew a dog and she said i was a furry based on how i drew the back legs. she was right but i don't get the test lmao

one of my ocs sort of got sucked into amy's family unit and he's in a sort of younger-ish sibling role to her (despite being older) and she makes him very happy and he loves her very much. they are friends :)

pov you are talking to razor on discord and he is happy to see you

this is called "scourge peep.png". i don't know why it's holding a knife

me and my friend drew pokemon from memory at a sleepover. i think from the different art styles you can tell which ones i drew nsjkdgs

i was playing the sims and made a version of gyro on it and he just kept getting abducted by aliens. i couldn't stop him

[lacrimiris]

I'm like weird sometimes because I met a person years back on undertale amino and idolized them so hard they're still in my memory now. She went by dub vanilla berry, hezeru, cherrumilk, and I think more and had art reminiscent of tearzah and reinagoth. She was accused of tracing at some point but she quickly detached herself from it and was genuinely super talented because she made very beautiful and cutesy art. She also had a cutesy persona online and had a lot of smaller artists or just kids on amino worship her, as well as having a lot of friends all around. I was like a really big fan, I thought she was adorable and snarky and fun, and I loved her art and the persona she put out and always loved seeing her progress, like she was who I wanted to be at that time. And we came in contact at some point and turned out she was a fan of me and my art as well, I don't know if she was just saying it but she was so sweet and I'm weak against that so I just chose to believe it. And I was in a group chat with her and some of her other cutesy friends, and I'm I remembered drawing some art for her and just enjoying talking with her. She sent blurry or dark pictures of herself a couple times and she was someone who loved tea and cakes and anything adorable and I think I heard someone call her Misha at some point. She released speedpaints at some point after rebranding to hezeru and I remember being amazed at her using firealpaca for art and having a cute link interface with cat or bunny icons, as well as using super thing lines for her line art. Then some time later she left a mean comment on another person's wall, it was some drama about people grinding to follow as many people as possible to raise their level and get more followers and be on the community leaderboards, and dub believed that artists and content creators deserved the spot more than someone just following a bunch of people (amino drama lol) and so she was mean about it which got her suspended, after which she either left completely or was banned (I don't really remember). then i found her on insta and her name was cherrumilk with a slightly changed art style and it was super sparkly and pretty and anime-like and I adored it, she was taking requests so I asked about it and.. well she made a drawing of my persona at the time, and mind you it was glorious, it was beautiful, it's still one of my favorite drawings I've ever received because there's just something about it, I was extremely overjoyed and even got it by email. She did abandon her instagram account, and her boyfriend at the time posted on amino a huge drawing with different people's ocs who were all dub's friends, she said she spent several days working on it and I was also in it! It was so so cute. Anyways then she just vanished, poof, gone! Another artist with a similar vibe appeared some time later, and a lot of people thought it was her, but we never got any confirmation on that, and the art was different (though dub was always great at doing different art styles). So yeah, I haven't heard from her or seen her in years, all that remains is the art of hers I have saved or got, and a dead amino community dedicated to her. For some reason I still miss her, or the idea of her, and the story of her existence in my life will probably stay forever in some capacity.

I'll probably never meet her again, or at least I won't know it's her, and I probably also won't know anyone who was close to her. All I can say is that she was a big part of my life at some point where she knew it or not, and that she made me feel more confident about myself and my personality, as well as indirectly influencing my passion and art progress. She may never know it but she was a key part of me becoming who I am today, albeit I suppose that sounds weird. Either way, I'll probably never get any closure, and this is extremely messy as I don't remember the exact timeline and didn't disclose all the details, but I just wanted to throw it out there.

Duh, hezeru, cherru.. if you're there, know that you were a big inspiration, a nice friend, and a weirdly impactful presence in my life. And if any of you knew her if remember something from that era, please talk to me <3

[anarchist-rat-swarm]

I thought I should write more "serious business" stuff, so here's my beliefs about how the universe works. How's that for serious. Don't worry, I'll put a tldr down near the bottom.

Also, this is pretty much entirely UPG.

We start with a generalized Animism. To put it briefly, it's the belief that everything has a soul, a spirit, a spark of the divine. Whatever term you're happy with. It's not like there's a rigorous definition of the differences. It's not a hard concept to accept, either, once you go looking. What's the difference between the sun and a big ball of burning gas? The spirit. The grand canyon and a big hole on the ground? Spirit. The sea and a bunch of water with salt and fish poop in it? You guessed it, the spirit, the soul, the inherent divinity of the sea.

From there, we start asking questions like "does the universe have a soul?" My answer has always been Yes. This is where you start getting into pantheism and panentheist, but we're not going to worry about that. Instead, we're going to get right to the point: if the universe had a soul, and you're part of the universe, what does that mean about you and your own divinity?

So now we're going to think about rain.

Bear with me.

Rain, ultimately, comes from the sea. Ultimately, it returns to the sea. That doesn't diminish the existence of the raindrop. When it returns to the sea, the individual drop of rain is gone, but the water it was made of still exists as part of something bigger, and the water that it was made of will, given time, be part of countless other rain drops some day.

Here's the thing, though. Enough people get something out of ancestor veneration that I don't think the soul goes poof! rain drop metaphor as soon as a person dies. Instead, this is where my belief in polytheism comes in. Before we can really get into that, though, we have a question to consider first. Nothing big, just a tiny little question.

What are gods?

See, nothing super heavy or anything.

Without going too far into it, I believe that gods and spirits are, fundamentally, similar to souls. Generally made of the same stuff, in the way that a bird is fundamentally made of the same stuff as the tree. Carbon and water and things like that.

Given that gods are, metaphysically and metaphorically, bigger than souls, it makes a certain amount of intuitive sense that your soul would come to rest around them for a while. Whether you want to use the metaphor of comets falling into orbit around a planet, or fish finding refuge in a coral reef, it just seems to feel right.

Here's the thing, though, and where it all starts coming together. Anything, if it goes on long enough, becomes torturous. There's only so long that you can sit on a cloud playing a harp, or wander the green fields of Elysium, or find peaceful solice in Hel's quiet halls, or go hog wild hanging with Dionysus, or anything. Eventually, you're going to be done, and ready to Move On.

When you are, the universe will be ready to welcome you back.

Tldr: I believe that when you die, you hang with your gods for however long you need to or want to, and when you're done, your soul goes back to the universe.

Personally, I find a lot of comfort in the idea that it doesn't have to go on forever. Its a relief knowing that when you're done, you can just be done. The curtain falls, the credits roll, the actors take their bow, and that's it.

Eternity is less of a burden when it's not eternal.

[dabiscrustyfeet]

How would the brothers(and the rest of the cast, if you want to) react to a Mc who goes invisible(using magic probably) when scared or embarrassed, like a fight or flight response.

Hope you have a nice day :)

Ooh invisible mc

Imma do the bros only first tho. Thank you for requesting dear and have a wonderful day. How the heck do you lot come up with interesting ideas

Mc that becomes invisible when they get scared or embarrassed ft. the sins

Lucifer

Lucifer needed to look for you, because it seems you have forgotten to give him a report you were supposed to give him in the last week

The report was necessary, so that he and diavolo could improve on the exchange program

So he was trying to look for you in the house of lamentation

So lucifer goes to your room, and there you are, vibing to whatever soundtrack you’ve got on

So he’s just standing there like 🧍‍♀️

And you still don’t realise the guy is staring at you

Lucifer decided to call your name

You didn’t hear him - levi lent you his headphones and those where noise cancelling

So he just s l i g h t l y taps you on your shoulder

Which scared the absolute shit out of you

And the fucker was smirking

You obviously were embarrassed

So you just 💨poof💨 out of existence

Obviously lucifer went from this 😏 to this 🤨 real quick

You were here a second ago where the hell are you

He hears something rush past him and this guy caught you. You were trying to leg it

He is confused but not surprised he thought he was catching thin air imagine how stupid he must’ve looked

So you ✨reveal✨ yourself and explain to him that you go invisible when you get embarrassed or scared

He honestly was just already rubbing his temples

he knew that a certain someone would try use this trick for a lot of pranks

But that dont mean he didn’t forget why he was here

Where is the report you were supposed to give mc 😀

Mammon

Mammon got scared shitless when he found out you could do this

So you were just chilling, ya know, doing your thing, and it seems you zoned out

You didn’t realise that mammon was behind you - i think you zoned out

So obviously mammon is like “ oi mc 😀”

Your soul ascended and your body has disappeared

And now mammon is bamboozled

Where the hell are you mc

Obviously mammon is standing in the middle of your room like 👁👄👁

And it’s becoming a little awkward

So show yourself and he just looks so baffled so you explain your ability

Bad idea

“Imagine all the people we can scam mc” like boi if you dont?🤨

Your gonna give me and the peacock a migraine

Leviathan

Now levi never meant to scare you, he just kinda uh- he had a little bit of a gamers rage

So hes raging over here, and he asks your opinion on that matter pretty loudly scaring the absolute shite out of you

Darling your not even here 😀

So now he’s like ‘aw they don’t even wanna listen to me rant 🥲’

Babes mc loves hearing you rant you just made them see lillith again

But then you appear after you come over your shock and he’s like “??!!”

So you explain and he’s got stars in his eyes

“That’s exactly like the main character in [insert long ass title that spoils the whole plot]

Satan

Satan wanted to read in the library as one does

So he’s in a corner with a bunch of books around him, and theres a tiny cat on his shoulder

All of a sudden he hears someone acting out a passage of idk - lion king or something

You’re out here saying “…and he’s absolutely right, only the bravest lions go there.”

This guy – he hears The Lion King, he comes running 🏃

And he sees you and he does a double take

So he just finishes the line off for you

“But I’m brave.”

And you just f a d e a w a y

Satan is just staring at the spot you were sitting in like 👁👄👁

How?

He’s questioning everything he knows

Like he can see maths equations around him

Please return back to normal

This guy is buffering, he still on the loading stage

So when you reappear, he’s asking you 100 questions per minute

Good luck he’s gonna follow you until you answer

Ngl he gets disappointed when you say that you become invisible when you get scared or embarrassed

You got him walking around the house like “🙂” ( not that he doesn’t already it’s just that you can tell it is even more forced-bros eye is twitching as well)

He’s fully disappointed. He went through ten stages of grief when you told him. Now he’s going to be like “my whole life I’ve been trying to master the art of invisibility, and now when I meet someone with this gift, they can only become non existent when scared or embarrassed. Do you know how sad, disappointed and disrespected I feel? 🥲”

Like bro calm urself it ain’t that deep ( don’t say that you’ll get yeeted to your house in the human world )

He will calm down after a bit, just try not to get scared or embarrassed around him he’ll start sulking again

Asmodeus

This hoe caught you in 4k

Asmo has some nice clothes aight

You’ll be damned if you don’t try some of them

Defo has a corset or something

So you are trying his clothes, feeling hot and sexy as you should 😌, and this twat

This twat just walks in like “Mc darlin you will never believe what I heard today”

Stops in his tracks

He literally had three reactions simultaneously

He like “👁👄👁” “ 🎱👄🎱” “ ✨👄✨”

“ oh my gosh honey you look hot as me lemme take some pictures”

Baby you aint even here, you disappeared

This guy aint stupid tho. He may be a hoe, but he a smart hoe

He had three conclusions

Either 1- you some how hid in his room in supersonic speed

2- you threw yourself out the window somehow ( this happened way too many times for some reason)

Or 3- you used magic to hide yourself

He’s honestly the only one who stopped and was like “hmmm now how does this happen”

All he says is “mc no need to be embarrassed love you looked just fine”

Absolute king imma tell ya

So you show yourself and he basically just is gushing over how good you look

Doesn’t even need an explanation, he figured it out already

Next time, he’ll dress you up mkay

Beelzebub

This sweetheart

He didn’t mean to scare you, honestly

T’was one midnight, and Lord Beel seemed to have an urgent need to eat

The lord doesn’t realise a fellow member of his chaotic ass house was in the sacred kitchen

His stomach does one hell of growl

He out hear sounding like Cerberus roaring

Hercules be having flashbacks

And our dear mc screeched

They never jumped so high in their life before

But alas, a human being cannot achieve to fly

They landed, crash landed on to the floor

Cue the groaning

The lord of the flies was busy devouring the food from the fridge, but have no fear, he cares for those he loves

He hears you, but he cant see you

Therefore he follows his nose

He can feel you, but you seem to have no physical appearance

You show yourself, and before a word falls from your mouth, he is asking you if you are okay, and if you would like to join him and have a feast with him

What a gentleman😌

How could one decline on a hellish feast, it is food after all

So anyway, apologies for the Shakespeare talk, he asks you while munching on some spaghetti

You ✨explain✨ and he’s just like “okay cool👌”

Yall end up speaking about random shit and having some great midnight feast

Belphegor

This little shit

This menace to society

All he ever does is eat and sleep

Yet he managed to scare you without even trying

Bro was not even awake, you woke him up

You were cleaning the attic at night mkay

So the candles are out and so is the moon

That is the only source of light you got

You be humming to Isabella’s lullaby

Meanwhile belphie

His on the floor outside the attic.

His body decides that the floor is uncomfortable lets move

So it moves (the body)

And now this idiot is sleepwalking

So I understand why you did what you did

He opens the door to le attic and just stands there for a minute

His brain is like “ayo we got some nice music going we gonna sleep like a baby today”

And you obviously turn to see a motherfucking demon standing in the middle of the room like 🧍‍♀️

The scream you gave out was demonic

Babes your being influenced by the bros i think you need a vacation.

He has now awoken and is like “ what what’s wrong what’s happening”

This man got drop kicked real quick

You unlocked a new move congrats

I guess this is revenge for the strangling

Then you realise ‘oh shit that was belphie’

So he’s on the bottom of the stairs shaking

Trembling like a leaf

This nincompoop made you think he was having a seizure

So you go dow the stairs very carefully- I mean, you don’t wanna get tricked again don’t ya 🤨

You poke him with the broom “ …uuh belphie” no response

You feel yourself becoming invisible again

You’re getting scared for real for real

“ belphegor?”

You are now this close 🤏 to screaming lucifers name

And this little fuck starts laughing

Not even that, he’s laughing, crying, rolling on the floor and now he laughing way too much he became silent and his tummy be hurting

When he calms down, he dont see you

He’s like “yo mc I didnt know you could kick that hard”

Doesnt even care you disappeared, he knows your there he can feel it

So you just appear again and your like 😐

“Yo what was funny? Bitch i thought you had seizure ”

Obviously he’s gotta apologise for giving you heart palpitations and when he does

“ you were invisible weren’t you? Can i interest yo in some ways to prank lucifer?🙂”

You just ignored him and went to sleep

You don’t get paid enough this shit, don’t you mc?

I hope this is okay love it’s my first time doing a request. Have a nice day sweetie muwah💋

[hitodama3]

Substitute MC?

I tried to use a different word then replaced because I know a lot of replaced MC AUs exist and this isn't that.

So I haven't gotten to chapter 16? but if you're on obey me Tumblr you'll quickly get spoiled so spoilers for you know what beneath the cut.

Okay so question/idea/brainrot thing.

From my understanding Barbatos does not save MC in chapter 16, the MC from that universe dies completely and totally, he just snags an MC from another universe right before the deed is done to replace the one that died.

Barbatos is also very meticulous! So to make sure there were no conflicts he very carefully selected an MC from a world that had the exact same experiences as the MC from the OG world so there would be no conflict in memories / interactions with the characters.

So my question is about the OTHER reality. Because there are a few possibilities.

A. We know he's meticulous. So did he find a reality where everything lined up experience wise but even though the boys acted nice they didn't care for alternate!MC. Considering the MC was plucked from that reality, probably alternate!Barbatos knows what's going on but unless he shares with the others ,alternate!MC just disappeared. So OG!Barbatos would need to pull alternate!MC from a reality where they wouldn't care but still act enough like they did so that MC's memories line up for assimilation.

B. Or alternatively the dateables just all dropped dead for some reason in that moment? God struck them down for not protecting the human idk.

C. Because otherwise there's just this alternate universe where the brothers are FREAKING OUT because Belphie tried to harm the human and the human went poof! AND THEY CANT FIND THEM!!! Until Alternate!Barbatos tells them they got snatched to another dimension.

C.A Does the guilt for harming alternate!MC make them willing to not try and get MC back. The whole they're better off somewhere safer.

C.B Or do we have a bunch of demons unable to answer the call of their pacts but feeling alternate!MC when they're in danger or call for them going feral and probably yandere as they try to tear through space and time to retrieve alternate!MC.

C.B.2 Does that mean that just a side plot the OG!dateables do, and probably hide from alternate!MC, is fighting off the alternate!dateables to keep alternate!MC in their reality.

D. For angst or creepy purposes alternatively you could also make it so Barbatos wasn't so meticulous, and pulled a close enough MC that MOSTLY had aligning memories with the OG!Realm. So randomly alternate!MC will reference some past event that hasn't happened in this reality, and is reminded this isn't their world. Imposter syndrome-like.

E. What did they do with OG!MC's body? Is there a grave? Did they eat it? Was there a funeral considering alternate!MC is here? Do the boys ever think about how they failed OG!MC and even though an MC is HERE it's not the original?

F. Would they allow alternate!MC the option to return? I haven't heard differently so I assume the boys never asked if MC would like to return to the other timeline. It was just assumed since the realities were pretty much the same alternate!MC would stay.

F.A Because if I learned that I had been killed in this reality and they were using me as a substitute for their failures I would be bailing out of there faster than a sinking ship.

F.A.2 Would they let you leave though? They failed their jobs they were given to protect the human, and potentially had to go through the feeling of there contract breaking briefly until Alternate!MC arrived and re-established the connections. Once the alternate!MC arrives they could be relieved because they have a second chance they didn't mess up THAT bad MC is right HERE!

WHAT YOU WANT TO LEAVE THEM?

Oh because they hurt you? Don't worry just give them a chance they'll do much better this time! Queue the yandere potential music. If the alternate!dateables are trying to get them back it turns from a retrieval to a rescue scenario in this reality.

F.A.2.A Does that mean pacts cross realities? That if you've made a pact with a demon you hold that pact across realities. That leaves some room for an Evil!MC or Evil!Solomon who hold the contracts to cross worlds and try to take over the other world, and use the demons against their will to do it because they must obey the pact holder. Could be a good idea for an ACTUAL replaced MC fic.

[luimagines]

Coul I request the chain reacting to meeting the reader who is Wild's sibling? (If background is needed shrieks science and them whatever purchase did so the reader is just sorta- 15-28 )

Masterlist

I don't understand the second sentence but I think I can infer what you're trying to say. And even then, I came up with a backstory that more less fixes it regardless so yay!

Wild is everyone's favorite chaotic creative sibling!

And I went for older sibling because reasons and just assume that sibling! Reader is in their early twenties.

Content under the cut!

You woke up one day in Hateno village, quietly aware of the silence that echoed through your house.

You miss your brother.

Not that he was here often with his Goddess given assignment nor did he even know who you were for the first half of it.

What a day that was.

Your little brother back from the dead, scars and all and then some... but he had no idea who you were.

It hurt to say the least. But you were told it would happen once the news reached you. He would wake up one day to finish his duty but he would not remember anything regarding his past life.

Even when he found you again, after he somehow remembered you, you didn’t know where to begin.

You just knew that you were so happy to be together again after so long that you hugged him as tight as you could and told him that your door was always open.

To say you both cried is the understatement of the century. It was wet and ugly and messy and neither of you really talk about it but it felt good that day.

And while you both knew he couldn’t stay for long with his adventure being no where near complete. He did come home for the night after he set that travel medallion of his by the front door.

But that was then- before the Calamity was defeated.

Now that it’s gone- so is your brother. Again.

On a different quest this time, it seems.

You don’t understand why your baby brother of all people has to be the one to do it and you would like nothing more than to wrap him up in a blanket and shield him from anything else that comes to hurt him- but he never let you do that as a child- let alone now.

You begin the day like any other and try to get as many mundane chores done as you can before you finally try and get the stable in the back fixed up.

You noticed Link had an affinity to horses and had checked in with the nearest stable to see that he had some lodged under his name.

There’s a place at the house, darn it. Lodge them here. It just needs to be fixed.

With your goal in mind, you lose yourself to the work and the time passes effortlessly.

It’s around noon by the time you hear it.

The familiar sound of activation that gets your heart pounding in relief and unbridled joy.

You drop your hammer and run to the front of the house with the largest grin on your face. “You’re back, you Rug Rat! Come here!”

You single him out instantly amongst the group and tackle him in a hug.

He’s long stopped trying to fight on you on this and has also returned your crushing hug with one of his own. “I’m back.”

“You brought friends too.” You grin and give the group a two fingered salute. “And here I was afraid that this loner child would end up dead in a ditch somewhere and I would be none the wiser. Thank you for looking after my little brother. I’m aware he’s a handful.”

“Ok thanks.” He says.

“Little brother?” Someone from the group asks. They’re lost amongst the sea of head but you nod regardless.

“Yup. I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday.” You grin and put your hands on your hips, introducing yourself right after. “Any friend of Link’s is a friend of the family. Come in, come in. Make yourselves at home. It’s not much but it’s ours. Been in the family since before the calamity struck. Let me wash up a bit and then we can get some food going, yeah?”

“I’ll start up the stove.” Link says and you’re about to disagree. After all, he just got home and should rest while he can but he ahs the most unburdened smile on his face that you can’t bring yourself to deny him.

 “Alright.” You sigh and head to the back where the shower is. It’s always been small and a bit cramped and the door stopped fitting correctly about ten years ago but now that’s it’s not just you anymore, you can go around into the giving the house the TLC it deserves.

But you’re starting with the stable in the back.

When you’re finished and you’ve dried yourself off, you get into the house to find it in a delightful array of colors and chaos.

Each of the boys seemed to have made themselves completely at home in the time you were gone and you leaned against the door frame, watching them all interreact.

Your brother didn’t waste any time with getting the stove up and running. You can smell the beginning of lunch getting cooked and it appears that Link has wrangled two of the boys to be his helpers. One appears to be the youngest with bright wide eyes and a similar blue tunic to that of Links and the other looks to be  slightly more timid in the process. He’s around the same height as Link but darker hair and a long white cape still clasped around his shoulders. 

You recognize the Master Sword strapped to his back.

Making a note of that you look around the room again. Three of them have made themselves comfortable at the table. One is easily the biggest guy of the group, red and blue tattoos on his face and scar over his eye as he watches the others go about the admittedly small house. The other two look to be the same size and you’re sure you can look them in the eye if you needed to. They’re talking to both each other and the group that’s cooking. One has a wolf pelt on his shoulder with more tattoos on his face and other is a knight if you’ve ever seen one with a bright blue scarf around his neck.

You’re not one to judge your brother’s friends but you make a mental note to watch him in case he tries anything.

Two of the boys- one with pink hair and the other have the most solid brown mane of the whole group have made themselves spares and are talking quietly to each other and not making a fuss.

The final one looks to be the smallest but he’s got an older glint to his eye that recognize well. He’s wearing arguably the most color tunic of the group with those four patches sewn together. He’s tucked himself away into a corner with a book out, not interacting with either of them outright but he has been looking up and adding his two cents to the older’s conversation at the table.

They don’t notice you’re back which is a testament to how tired they all must be.

They’re an interesting bunch.

But Link did always surround himself with interesting people.

So you’re not really surprised.

“Sooo...” Pinky starts off, calling your bother’s attention. “You have an older sibling?”

“Yup!” He answers, not looking up from the pot. “They were waiting for me the whole time, and even manage to keep the house. Up keep still needs to be done but we’ve been working on it together.”

“But they’re older.”

“Yes. We’ve established this.”

You have to hold back your snort.

“You were asleep for one hundred years.” Four Patches speaks up, closing his book silently. ”Shouldn’t they... ummm...”

“Be dead?”

“Or at least really old?” Mr. Brunette hops in, trying to lessen the blow of the sentence.

“You’re like one hundred and seven teen right? Wouldn’t that put them at being one hundred and twenty something?” Wolf boy offers.

“I guess so. Yeah. They were old at some point.” Link stops stirring and you can see him try to run the numbers in his head. “I know that much. The village talks about them being really old sometimes, but I guess that was years ago because it’s only from the older folk that live here.”

“But they lived through those one hundred years, didn’t they?” Blue Baby Face speaks this time.

“That’s what they told me.”

“So....” The knight tilts his head and tries to put his hands out as if that would help answer the question. “They’re like the Old Man then? Old in their head but young on the outside.”

“You can say that, yeah.” You say and take extreme satisfaction at the way most of the jump at your voice. “Unlike Link, I was alive the whole time he was asleep. I’ve got grandkids in Lurelin and they visit from time to time but someone had to at least keep the house up and running, might as well have been me.”

“I...” Link starts as he takes the food off the burner. “I never asked you how you stayed young, did I?”

“Nope.”

“Oh.” He looks away and deflates a little. Link looks a little disappointed with himself and that won’t stand in this house.

“I didn’t realize it was that important. And I’m going to assume you’ve explained most of the situation Rug Rat.” You laugh a little with a raised eyebrow. “You can blame Purah. You know she wanted to find a way to keep the old from aging, right? It’s why she’s in the body of a little kid again. But when she tried the second formula she realized that if she tried it on herself that it might as well but poof her back into a baby and she wanted to contact Robbie but he’s too far and too old to make that trip. I volunteered.”

“Really?”

“It still didn’t really work, I was transformed into a teenager instead of a child- a horrible time to exist really. But I suppose it was a blessing in disguise. By the time this one-” You step into the house fully and ruffle Link’s hair. “-came back, it left us with the same age gap as before. So in the end I can’t complain.”

“Why’d you volunteer?” Cape guy leans on the wall. “There’s only so many times you can test it, right? Who’s to say it wouldn’t have been worse?”

“Yeah, what if it did transform you into a baby again and you forgot everything?” Four Patches stands up and comes to stand by the table, putting his book on top of it. 

“I wanted to take the risk.” you shrug and pull your brother into a hug. “Is it a crime to want to see my baby brother again not matter the cost?”

“Get off.” He whines.

You laugh but do as he asks. “It was never said when he’d be back. Only that he would. I was willing to buy as much time as needed to be there for him.”

“I didn’t remember you...” He mutters to himself.

“You now, don’t you?” You punch him gently. “We’ve talked about this. It’s ok. I knew it was going to happen. It wasn’t going to stop me. Ganon himself couldn’t properly get rid of me. I’m not leaving your side anytime soon.”

He smiles and turns to hug you.

“Now where’s your wolf friend?” You ask. “Are you still traveling together? There’s something I wanted to give him.”

Wolf Pelt shimmies in his seat for a second but you don’t think much of it.

Link shakes his head. “Not right now but he has been coming by every now and then.”

“Well it’s good he’s still around to look after you then in my stead.”

“We have a horse though.” Link tilts his head up to grin at you. “It’s not the same but her name is Epona.”

Familiarity stabs you in the heart and you know it’s something that Link even remember even if he lives another one hundred years.

He was too little when she passed.

“...Like dad’s old horse. Can I see her?” You say with a light constriction in your throat. “How crazy would it be if they looked alike?”

“Dad had a horse?”

“You wouldn’t remember her, you were too little. I barely remember her as it is but yes, he did.” You take a step back and motion back towards the door. “Maybe after lunch you show me. We can bring her to the back and measure up how the stable is. I’ve been fixing it up.”

“Really!?” Link blinks, an excited glint appearing in his eyes.

“Yes. That’s what I was doing when you first came in. But let’s eat first.” You put your hand to the small of his back and push him gently in the direction of the table. “And then you can tell me about your friends and this new adventure of yours.”

If you want to can you do a part 2 of the wonderland Au where the reader runways because they killed innocents cuz there sus and tries to ask the black cat if there is anyway she could go back

(Scenario)

You were running, no idea where, but running all the same. Ever since your first little incedent here, you had been excluded from all of the beheadings, instead being taken to a large room, multiple maids and servants there to play with you, sometimes even eri or shinso would skip to braid your hair or play “dress up”. You didn’t really understand why, it made some kindof sense thigh, considering last time you broke out in a full crying fit and could barely breath.

The one time that you just so happen to come by an execution, it was much worse and crueler than last time, multiple people were lined up, begging for their lives, some praying, begging for their deaths to be painless. You recognized them as the servants who had been bathing you , your (louder and more vocal) father, hizashi, screaming at them that they had tried to “ruin your innocence and taint your body” which they had done none of the such, they were actually really nice to you.

You could do nothing but watch as they were beheaded in the cruelest way, going up there would just make it worse, you knew it. And so you were officially done with whatever this place was, they still refused to explain your full situation, so you completely relied on them for... well everything. a bunch of cats starts showing up everywhere, staring at you, it was I did annoying really, mainly because they ran away before you could get anything out of them.

And so, you started actively seeking them Pitt, wandering a little too far into the darker areas of the woods, and scaring the shit out of yourself. For the most part, they never let you touch them, sometimes they would talk. No, really, they would often call you “cute” even going so far as to call you “adorable” or “little”, as if they weren’t tiny kettle cats that could barley paw at your knees. It was slightly humiliating, but surely annoying.

Today was your lucky day apparently , as the black cat, litterally jumped on you while you were running away from the guards chasing you in the rose garden, the. The two of you just, weren’t near the castle anymore, instead near a dark forest. You reacted almost immediately hooking your hand on the collar around it’s neck, making sure it wouldn’t run away now. Then...

Poof!

The cat just blinked out of existence for a moment, then reappeared with another one of his stupid smiles, you just wanted to die then and there. Of course cats can just poof anywhere! This is some fricking wonderland.

“Oh honey , you should know by now that I’m not a normal cat. You have questions, and I have answers, let’s hurry this up, I’ve got billions of places to be, and very little time” he spoke, upon seeing your confused face, he sat himself down on the top of your head, surprisingly light for a such a big cat, and started sowing at your hair. You just kindof sat in shock, as this is the first time one had ever spoken a full scentence with you.

“Uh-I-I’m. Oh gosh, you can speak?” You spluttered out, struggling to find the right words, he smiled and jumped off of your head onto the ground in front of you, letting a laugh leave its lips. The cat remained giggling at your so called “adorable confusion”. You just kindof sat there awkwardly, but knowing how to react.

“Yes, moving on. I can tell you want out of here, so go on, ask. Oh never mind I’ll just tell you! You can’t leave! At least I don’t think so. I could just take you away from the royal house if you want, more so if I want” the cat rammered on and on, tilting his head at your sudden sad mood change. You wer slightly amused by the fact that it knew what you were going to say before you Ben said it, but also disappointed that there wasn’t a way to get out of here. Your interest was peaked at leaving the fmaily of hearts you lived with. But you still remained upset.

“So there is absolutely no way I’m getting out of this, wonder- wonderland”

“Yep, You are stuck here bubs. Forever.... and ever.... and ever. Oh would you look at the time! I have a tea party to crash! Dabis gonna be so pissed! Goodbye Tiny human!” The cat, which you now recognized as a she, mainly because of her overall feminine voice and the two little bows attached to her ears, giggled, patting your head with one of her paws then poofing off somewhere else.

You reappeared in the rose garden, this time alone, and wondering what in heaven and hell just happened.

“Wait! Hold o- and she’s gone... crap”

Thank you for requesting! It wa sa cool idea!

Have a wonderful day today anon! Tell me if you want to change it!

The whole animal experiment thing in Maternal instincts is still bothering me. So. What we know as facts as stated in the show:

Vlad calls the animals ‘my experiments’

The animals look weird

Danny says that the taxidermy belongs to the ghost animals

Annnnnd… that’s it. That’s all we hear about these animal experiments and they never come up again except in shots where they’re reusing a bunch of assets. The implication is, of course, Vlad killed the animals and mutated the ghosts and that was what the experiments were. But it also just makes no sense?

Okay. First thing. It may be word of god talking through him, but Danny doesn’t know those are the ghost animal’s pelts. He literally Can’t know. He’s basically just making a snappy quip to try and turn the ghosts on Vlad. My biggest beef with the idea at all is: it’s Taxidermy in a Hunting Lodge. You know, that incredibly normal hobby that does not, at all, mean that someone is evil nor is it indicative of evil experimentation. He literally could have just bought those for the aesthetic or to show off for business associates and it could have nothing to do with the ghosts at all. Or they could just be normal hunting trophies. He works with a hunting obsessed ghost it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he could hunt in his free time. It’s Taxidermy. In a Hunting Lodge.

Then, the animal ghosts looking weird. They’re ghosts. There’s plenty of ghosts with inhuman and weird features in the show. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that ghost animals could just be Like That. There’s also real cases of animals having extra limbs or missing eyes or having two heads. Most of them are miscarriages/still births, but ghosts also age as shown in Ultimate Enemy so it’s not exactly out of the question for a two headed creature to die, become a ghost, and then grow up as a ghost with two heads. Like In Frightmare before Christmas, the reindeer turned ghosts change shape and grow fangs. Frightmare, Fright Knight’s horse with bat wings, exists. Also the aforementioned shots reusing assets could imply that other ‘mutated’ animals exist in universe.

Even then, if Vlad really did mutate them, Who Does This Benefit. Like really, Why, based on Vlad’s goals and abilities, would he even bother. This doesn’t get him Maddie or Danny. It doesn’t get him some rare artifact or increase his power. This doesn’t even kill Jack since apparently they aren’t even that strong. Assuming cloning Danny is even a thought in his head at that point, which it shouldn’t be considering Maddie hasn’t even had the chance to say ‘No’ to him until well after the animal experiments and he still tries to get Danny on his side after this point, then how does mutating the animals actually help him at all???

Like what I would expect, if this really was a precursor to the cloning, would be him attempting to create half-ghost animals or him attempting to clone/create ghosts. If he’s trying to half-ghost them, then the pelts either shouldn’t be usable because he’s blasting them with a portal or they are a trophy to his failure— which he wouldn’t keep because they’re just a blow to his pride. It he was trying to Create half ghost animals, then why aren’t the pelts mutated the same way as the ghosts And it’s still a testament to his failure. If he made the ghosts wholesale, then the pelts have nothing to do with anything and they just turned on Vlad because they could. Why did the ones going after Jack even bother after the first one went splat? Why were they sometimes going poof and sometimes splattering everywhere? Honestly Vlad giving them that poof-ing ability that we don’t really see elsewhere would be interesting to explore.

Also, those things literally had free reign of the area. Why didn’t they just leave? He obviously didn’t have any real way of compelling them to listen to him beyond his ghost powers/ being stronger than them or he would have used it. It they just left quietly when he sent them off to go do something or other, then how would he find them or even know they ran off until long after they were gone.

Also Also, if one of his main goals is ‘make Danny into son’ then why would he just send the animals after a de-powered Danny. How does that make sense unless either he was watching or he knew Maddie was going to save Danny and even then, even a total moron should be able to understand that that doesn’t endear people to you. Like the one way it makes sense to me is if he was using it as a way to make Maddie feel better by giving her the opportunity to save her son, give himself a chance to watch her fight/ ogle, and get revenge on Danny for his comments earlier by making him think he was in danger even though he wasn’t actually. It would fit better with the whole ‘evil mastermind’ thing, but it’s also just a headcanon without textual basis

[ah-yes-paris]

beatles harmonies that cured my depression.

It is important that i discuss this. Well, not really important I just really wanted to share. This is in no particular order either it's just the ones that come to the top of my head lol. Feel free to reblog and share your own 😎

1. The "Woahoooah AHHHHH" from When I Get Home.

Not even words can describe the battery power that starts coursing through my veins when I hear this harmony. I cant even,....LIKE HELLO??? i have never heard such a blessing... Such a well-fitting triplet of voices singing a vowel thats made me feel like i can run 10 miles straight. They aren't real. The Beatles, of course. To this day I don't understand how this harmony exists in this universe. My ears melt everytime. One of my favorites, in case you couldn't tell.

2. The obvious.. "yeah yeah yeah YEAHH" from She Loves You :)

LET ME TELL YOU. oh my god let me tell yo u .. Way back when, when I was a new fan... Good lord. I was literally ascending. ASCENDING. i felt every inch of my body start to lift off the ground. Im sure im not the only one who's experienced this. I remember thinking 'how the wiggle wubble do 3 men sound so GOOD TOGETHER' IT DOES NOT ADD UP PEOPLE THE BEATLES HAVE TO BE SOME SORT OF ROBOTIC BOY BAND GROWN IN A LAB THIS ISNT POSSIBLE how do we live on the same dimensional plane that this harmony lives on..

3. "The magical mystery tour, is coming to take you away, Coming to take you away!" from Magical Mystery Tour.

...

guys. Guys you dont understand. This one line, adds, YEARS. LITERAL YEARS TO MY LIFE SPAN. At this point I am fully immortal. The "coming to take you awayyy" makes my heart POUND. i love this song so much... And this line especially... It makes me go insane. Basically the beatles are manic melody genuises that have successfully spread one of the biggest diseases in musical history. Personally, I think this line was a clear example of why.

4. "Last night I said these words to my girl", "Please pleaase me, oh yeah, like i please you...", "...With you! Oh yeah, why do you make me blue" from Please Please Me.

do i even have to say anything. Well, i dont but i will for the sake of the post. There is so much. So much. About this song that I. I cant even,,. I would choose this song over SO MANY BEATLES SONGS DUDE. not that its cause i think its better than all the others but it just holds such a special place in my heart. Its the only song thats Ever made me feel some intense wave of nostalgia for a decade i wasnt even born in. Its one of the songs that continue to make me question the beatles existance. How could something like this ever come to reality. My brain has never been so pleased in its life.

5. "Carve your number on my wall and maybe you will get a call from me" from If I Needed Someone.

The way that this song was added into my Liked playlist SO QUICKLY...... God. I love george. Hes my favorite after all. Rubber Soul as a whole makes me feel warm inside but this song and this one line just hits so much more intensely for some reason... Their voices just flow insanely well and I just DONT UNDERSTAND HOW. its like an angel choir making its way through the clouds as you see the gate to heaven start to appear. Wonderful song and mind-blowing harmony... The beat is so good too and i just explode.

6. The "ahhhhh Ahhhhh AHhhhh *inhale* AHHHhhhh AHHHHH *inhale* AHHHHHH" from Day Tripper.

HOLY JESUS CHIRST THIS SONG HAS SO MUCH TO UNPACK... There are undeniably A BUNCH of other flawless harmonies in this song but my god the beatles knew what they were doing. Thats all I'm going to say really.... But once again. Power. In my veins. A few listens to this song and you'll find yourself having the strength of 1,000 men.

7. "Oh, now", "All I want is you" from Dig a Pony.

FIRST LYRIC... ITS LITERALLY 2 WORDS AND YET IT CONTINUES TO BLOW MY MIND. Something about the "Oh" ...... Its like an arrow passing through my heart I dont even know guys. Im not lying when I say it makes me feel like im floating. It makes me feel like i can quite literally grow wings and fling myself towards the sun. Dont even get me started on "All I want is you".......it literally triples the effect. It makes me go ballistic. The song is just mindless lyrics but the harmonieeesss.....

8. "Ah girlll.... *inhaeahelrlsseeesh* Girrll...." from Girl.

no words. Like. No words. I cant even. I seriously dont need to explain this one. Im just going to drop the isolated vocals version because if you havent listened to it you are MISSING OUT... you thought the originally recorded song was the greatest cause of your heart palpitations? Well you thought WRONG.

THIS IS.

9. "I love youwoowooowoowoooo...", "ask me WHYY..", "I can't believe.. Its happened to MEeee", "i cant concieve *doo doo doo do doo* of anymore *dun dun dun* MISERY" from Ask Me Why.

GOD OK LISTEN im just gonna say this now i absolutely adore and favor the please please me album so much i dont care what anyone says ok im such a sucker for their early sappy love songs ITS SO MANY GOOD HARMONIES ESPECIALLY FROM THIS ONE. MY GOD i listen to this and i feel like im with a lover late at night and we're like at one or the others house keeping each other warm and being all romantic and happy. Specifically the part that goes "ask me whyy I say i love you.. (OOOOHHHOOOO) and im always thinking of youuhoohohoo..." LIKE COME ON PLEAEE IT MAKES ME FEEL SO WARM INSIDE AND I SMILE IN AN INSTANT GOD I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH. Whenever i think im sad i go "no im not because Please Please Me." And its like all the sudden everything im sad about just poof disappears!

10. "If theres anything that you want.. IF THERES ANYTHING I CAN DOOOO" from From Me To You.

I am so in love with this song you guys i have no idea I LOVE IT SO MUCH. IT HAS THIS LITTLE SWING TO IT SPECIFICALLY BETWEEN THESE 2 LINES THAT MY BRAIN SEEKS FOR NEARLY EVERY DAY. the amount of blessing i get from this song is more than i can comprehend its literally insane i cant even. How does someone do this how did the beatles make music guys I am seriously so dumbfounded like they just sat there and wrote banger after banger like WHAT. this song makes me believe that life isnt as horrible as it seems and if im lucky enough i can just sing and dance to this song for all of eternity. There are also so many other good harmonies in this one as well...

---

In conclusion the beatles have had a chokehold on me for 3 years but I mean their stupid groundbreaking songs keep drawing me back in so.... This has also made me come to the conclusion that the Beatles simply arent real because I still dont believe a band can not only write consistent hits, but also harmonize in a way that causes me to spin around while doing backflips.

Thank you for your time.

It’s Mordecai Part 6

First | Previous

“Well while I’m trapped here in Selcouth I guess I could make an effort to find Arkina.” Muerto sat cross legged on the floor of Niossa’s bedroom. He looked out of place, dressed in a black sweatshirt with a stitched on ribcage and black jeans, he stood out against the bright pink carpet and the baby pink walls.

“Who’s Arkina again?” Niossa asked as she gave a mouse that jumped onto her lap some trail mix she was snacking on.

“She’s the Goddess of Animal Souls, a God of Death. She’s Pixel’s sister.”

“Ah right. Pixel. They’re that rude God of Knowledge that showed up out of nowhere and started yelling at you.”

Muerto bunched up his legs and hugged his knees “Well I mean. They were right to.”

Niossa scowled “They were not! They were a jerk to you for no reason!”

“But I did let the Underworld fall. I knew Naperone tampered with my defenses. I knew my father had breached it, and I didn’t do anything! I just ran away to Sornieth. I didn’t even bother to check on you and he-”

“Don’t,” Niossa said “I don’t want to think about it.”

“Right…” Muerto said “B-but I feel like Pixel had a point. It wasn’t right of me to just abandon everyone like I did…”

“You had to protect yourself.”

“I could have warned them! I could have asked Inky to take me back so we could gather them! Evan and Mason only survived because Virtuous happened to stumble across them! Sonder ended up in Sornieth by a freak accident! Sep was only there to hide Match from me! I didn’t do anything to help anyone. Now I don’t know what my father did to my Gods of Death, or the mortal souls!”

“It shouldn’t be your responsibility.”

“How would you feel if your Gods of Love went missing? What if it was Kissa? What if it was Eumoirous?”

Niossa bit her lip “It would devastate me if anything ever happened to my people. I would feel awful if they were ever hurt. I would do everything in my power to get them back to safety.”

“Exactly! I need to find them. Not just Arkina, all of them. I need to make things right. And then I need to find Ren’s soul. And Jeb’s. Maybe then I can finally get Mason to stop giving me crap.”

Niossa stood up “Then let's find them! Starting with Arkina.”

Muerto nodded “Starting with Arkina. Knowing her she's probably safe from my father, but likely trapped somewhere in the mortal realm. She spent a lot of time there wandering the wilderness searching for deceased animals.”

“I’ll get a map. We can mark where she’s most likely to be found.”

“Good idea. And thank you Ni.”

Niossa smiled “Of course Mott! I love you!” She booped his nose and ran off in search of a map.

***

Inkdrop paced in her cage. The demons currently watching her were not good company. Silverfish was there but she couldn’t say anything while the other demon was there.

The door to the room opened and immediately the demons straightened up. In entered Mordecai, in his looming demon form.

“Greetings Inkling. Enjoying your new home?”

“It could be nicer, but it’s not the worst place I've ever been.”

“Don’t care. Tell me, does your kind need to eat?”

Inkdrop snorted “Uh, yeah.”

“And what sort of sustenance do you require? I’m not letting a creature as useful as you starve to death.”

Inkdrop clicked her tongue “Dark chocolate.”

Mordecai blinked “What?”

“You heard me. The sustenance I require is dark chocolate.”

“I’m not giving you dark chocolate. What else do you eat?”

“Sorry bud, but that’s the only thing ‘my kind’ eat.”

“Like I’m going to believe that.”

“Guess I’ll just starve to death then.”

Mordecai narrowed his eyes at her “No. Surely you must eat something else. Dark chocolate is mine. Only I can have it.”

“Yeah and I’m sure you have an endless supply of the stuff being the ‘oh great and powerful’ Mordecai. Surely you could spare a little so I don’t wither and die?”

“Listen It’s not that simple. Do you know how many steps go into making the stuff? Too many for a guy like me to be bothered with. So all of it that’s made is mine.”

“What, you can’t just poof it into existence? I thought you were an all powerful demon overlord.”

Mordecai growled and pressed his two clawed front feet together. A bar of chocolate appeared in them and he tossed it into Inkdrop’s prison.

“I still don’t believe you, but I don’t have time for this shit. So here, have your fucking chocolate so you don’t fucking die.” He lashed his tail and exited the room, the demon that wasn’t Silverfish trailed after him.

Inkdrop took a bite of the bar and winced. She forgot how bitter the dark variety could be. She preferred the sweet taste of milk chocolate.

“And you don’t even like that stuff. Sacrificed a meal just to be a little shit to Mordecai. I can respect that.” Silverfish said.

“You wouldn’t happen to have anything for me to eat would you?” Inkdrop asked.

“Unless you like paper, no,” Silverfish held up a clipboard and tore out a page “It’s Wasp’s research.” She snickered and stuffed the page in her mouth.

“I think I’ll pass,” Inkdrop took another bite of the bitter chocolate. “Anyway, while we have a chance to chat, have you thought about my plan anymore?”

“Yeah and I’m still not doing that.”

“But what about Trilo?”

“No version of Mordecai is going to bring her back. Besides, it's too risky to find this other version. I can’t allow you to use your portals. I don’t trust you. I don’t know if you’re just going to disappear and never come back and then I’ll surely be dead for letting you go.”

“I won’t do that to you!”

“I don’t believe you.”

“How can I get you to trust me?”

“You can’t.”

“Ok, ok slight change of plans then. Just let me know one thing, how likely do you think it is that you broke free of Nefarious in another timeline? Do you think that’s a fairly constant event? Because if so it’s likely there’s another you who fell in love with Trilo in Muerto’s timeline. Maybe she can teach him if you won’t/can’t!”

“I don’t fucking know, but I guess it’s possible.”

“Well then I’ll take that chance. Just let me write a letter to him. I’ll just toss it into a portal. I won’t hop through. If you think I’m going to then use the vial like you were taught to.”

Silverfish thought this over “ I suppose that could work. Not right now though. Someone else is coming in.”

Muerto held Niossa’s hand. His palms were sweating. The forest he wandered through was dark and unfamiliar. The trees stood too tall and blocked out the moon and stars. Wind rustled the leaves, making Muerto jump each time. He could hear noises of animals he did not recognize.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been in a forest at night before. I don’t like it.”

“Yeah me too…” Niossa said “I never knew trees could be so spooky!”

“How much of this hellscape do we need to search before we can cross it off the list of places Arkina could be?”

Niossa summoned her sacred pink flames to read the map in the dark “Hmm quite a bit. This is a big forest. We’ve barely scratched the surface.”

“Fuck,” Muerto kneeled on the ground and felt the dirt beneath his feet.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m trying to feel for any bones nearby. Arkina reaps the souls of deceased animals. If I can find a recently deceased critter, maybe I’ll find her.”

“Good idea. Sense anything?”

“Yes actually. This way.” He lifted a branch of a holly bush and Niossa squeezed past.

They entered a clearing covered in overgrown periwinkle. The only trees growing in the uncanny clearing were cedar.

“There’s a lot of bones here.” Muerto said.

Niossa shined her flames near the periwinkle “Where?”

“Beneath our feet,” Muerto touched one of the cedar trees “beneath the trees.”

Niossa ran her hands through the holly “Only under the trees?” her hand ran over something soft and she heard a growl. She stumbled backwards and a large black dog crawled out from under the bush. It snarled at her, showing her its teeth.

“Uh. N-nice doggy.”

Muerto felt the roots of one of the trees and he gasped “Oh these are not just any animal bones. These are human bones. We’re in an ancient graveyard.”

Muerto heard something snort behind him and felt breath on his neck. He turned around to see the largest buck he’s ever seen in his life. The deer pawed at the ground and aimed its antlers at Muerto.

“Oh crap.”

Niossa backed away slowly from the growling dog “Hey, hey it’s ok. I’m not going to hurt you…”

Muerto backed away from the buck. He formed his black flames in his hands “I’m warning you. Touch me and you die.”

The dog barked and snapped at Niossa. She turned and ran with the canine at her heels.

The buck charged and it’s antlers lifted Muerto into the air. His black flames licked the creature harmlessly and Muerto crashed onto the ground.

Niossa tripped over a rock and tumbled. She felt the dog’s drool over her and crawled away from it.

The buck still hadn’t had enough of Muerto. It charged again and Muerto leaped to his feet.

Niossa backed into flesh. Muerto tripped over a tail. Both crashed into each other and they heard a yelp. The two gods leaped to their feet, both had their weapons out and ready. For Muerto it was a scythe, for Niossa a bow and arrow.

“My king?” Both Muerto and Niossa aimed their weapons at the voice.

“K-king Muerto! I-it’s only me! D-don’t hurt me!”

Muerto lowered his weapon and Niossa did the same. She shined her flames in the direction of the voice and the light revealed another god. They were skinny and tall, with a slightly muscular build. They were young, about eighteen. Their ears were tall and rounded, canine instead of the usual feline ears of the gods. Their skin was dark with freckles that could barely be seen in the poor lighting. Their eyes were blue and their blueish black hair was in braids. They wore a simple tank top with a blue kilt. At the tip of their tail was a skull, the symbol of a God of Death.

Muerto glanced sideways for a sign of the buck but the large animal had disappeared “And who the fuck are you?”

“Cenotaph!”

Muerto squinted at his list of missing gods.

“I’m, I’m the God of Graves?”

“Oh. Right. You.” He quickly scribbled the name onto the list and then crossed it out “Well uh. We found a God of Death, Niossa!”

Niossa’s ear twitched “Where did that dog go?”

“What dog?”

“There was a black dog that chased me over here!”

“Weird… Did it hurt you?”

“No. I’m alright, but where did it go?”

“I have no idea. I’m wondering where the buck that was chasing me went too.”

“A buck?”

“Yeah. It was the biggest deer I’ve ever seen, and now it’s just. Gone.”

Cenotaph tugged at one of their skull earrings “So uh. You were looking for me, my King?”

“Actually yes. You wouldn’t happen to know where Arkina is too, would you?”

Cenotaph shook their head. “N-no I’m sorry.”

Muerto sighed “Great.”

“B-but I might know a few places she could be!”

“Wait hold up,” Niossa said “Cenotaph, did you see that dog?”

“No, I'm sorry.”

“What about the buck?” Muerto asked.

Cenotaph shook their head.

“Weird.”

Before any more words could be spoken a portal appeared. Muerto perked up.

“Inky?”

A letter dropped from the portal and it closed. Muerto picked up the parchment and began to read. Her brow furrowed and he dropped the letter.

“Niossa, could you hold this?” He handed her the list of gods and sat down “I think I’m about to have a panic attack.”

Cenotaph picked up the letter and began to read.

“Ok I feel like I’m very out of the loop here. Who’s Mordecai? And why do they have an Inkdrop?”

[presumenothing]

first: do no harm

(AO3)

Dr. Mensah’s attention zeroed in on me like a well-tuned surgery bot arm. “You have medical training.”

I was going to deny the hell out of that. I really was.

And then I said: “Not recently,” instead of no or even more accurately I frankly don’t think the company’s education modules count as training by your standards. (As far as I was concerned, the only thing worse than those modules was the one on breaking bad news, but what did I know. Maybe humans actually felt comforted by those tactics they described.) (No, I didn’t think that was likely, either.)

Which reminded me of a necessary addition. “The company won’t cover liabilities related to any non-security tasks you assign me to, if that’s what you’re intending.”

Mensah made a sound that was both grim and viciously annoyed at once, which I immediately saved for further analysis and replication. “Then we’ll just have to not make any mistakes, won’t we?”

–

I hadn’t exactly been thrilled with getting assigned to this mission. Not that mining installations were much of a walk in the park, but this was just asking to turn up memories that were better off buried (preferably forever) in my organic parts.

I don’t usually pay attention to mission briefs, as you may have noticed, and I wouldn’t have this time either except that my half-assed scan turned up the fact that the team weren’t science-doctors on a survey like I’d initially assumed, but medical-doctors. On a medical mission.

Of course they were.

(I wanted to say that someone had allocated me to this on purpose, but realistically speaking the company didn’t give enough of a shit, and the universe disliked me enough that this could totally be pure chance.)

Considering all that, the mission so far had been… much less worse than it could’ve been. Though the bar for that was admittedly very, very low. Possibly somewhere in the negatives.

Anyway. Up until the whole thing with Bharadwaj and Volescu getting almost-but-not-eaten, the task of making sure no one died had mostly been the clients’ job for once, which was a nice change since they were actually competent at it.

I still didn’t care enough to read their background info, but it was pretty clear just from observing that these doctors had experience with working in less-than-great conditions, even if Ratthi did sometimes sigh wistfully about equipment they couldn’t have in field hospitals. It meant that my job had pretty much amounted to patrolling, lurking visibly around the supplies storage in case anyone got ideas about that, and helping to fetch various medical items when I happened to be there and it wasn’t Gurathin asking.

It wasn’t terrible. I’d even got some media-watching time in.

(There might have been the vague thought that things could’ve gone much better if I’d been deployed with a team like this instead of Corporation Rim fuckery that literally bled payment from patients, but part of the reason medical-use constructs had been developed in the first place was so that hospitals could draw up forty-hour shifts and other assorted fun without worrying about doctor and surgeon unions, which told you everything you needed to know about our existence.

Also, the thought was inherently depressing and I already had enough of that in my head, thank you very much.)

The contract was more than halfway through. All I had needed to do to avoid awkward questions was continue making sure no one noticed that I was weirdly well-versed in all this, which wasn’t difficult since they only seemed to have theoretical knowledge about SecUnits at best.

Then the fauna happened, and poof went my cover.

Now all of PresAux knew I was – whatever the hell you called a catastrophically failed MedUnit who got turned loose onto security, because at least if I screwed up here the press wouldn’t be as bad. And that wasn’t even getting into the hacked governor module.

Even constructs didn’t have a term for all that.

–

Of course, none of that stopped this from being a Very Bad Idea. Even if apparently no one except Gurathin (ugh) seemed to agree.

“I’m a SecUnit, Dr. Mensah. I scare people. Patients are harder to assess when they’re running away.” I thought basic logistics might work here.

“You had better bedside manner with Bharadwaj and Volescu than many doctors I’ve seen. Human ones, might I add, and not actively injured themselves at the time.” Mensah’s tone was brisk as her pace – which wasn’t difficult to keep up with either, given my vertical advantage, but impressive nonetheless. “And no one wants to be around Pin-Lee when she’s holding a scalpel. That’s what the sedation is for.”

It’s because SecUnit hasn’t seen her in court yet. Trust me, it’s much scarier, Ratthi chimed in over the feed, with the text signifier for “amusement” but not “joke”.

Pin-Lee just smiled.

It was terrifying. I wasn’t even looking directly at her.

“I don’t have a valid license.” That’d been a part of the legal fallout from the disaster on RaviHyral, though no one had actually bothered with adding malpractice charges or barring me from ever doing medicine again. (Just another side effect of being considered as equipment – I doubted the company would’ve even secured licenses for constructs if not for their paranoia about covering their asses on all fronts.)

But it was a last resort argument, and I knew it.

Mensah knew it, too. “There’s special dispensations for that, especially under the current circumstances, as long as a fully-licensed doctor is in the vicinity at all times. It’s not like any of us can actually get out of each other’s hair in this base anyway.”

Mensah had stopped in a less-chaotic corner and turned to me, not that she could see anything behind the faceplate. I fixed my gaze a generous distance to the left and let my drones do the looking.

“I’m not going to make you agree. You perform a valuable function as our security – far more than I had initially expected, to be honest, and we would all be grateful if you kept doing that. But with Bharadwaj down for the count and Volescu still recovering, we could do with the help.” Her expression was still steady as ever, even though she probably knew better than I did the risks of continuing to operate shorthanded like this. “It’s your decision, SecUnit.”

Right, just the very thing I didn’t need to hear.

I kept most of my sigh internal. “Triage and first-aid only, between patrols. No procedures, and I won’t be responsible if any patients freak out.”

Mensah nodded. “Of course. Gurathin’s on receiving duty today, how about you work out a roster with him?”

I knew it. This was a bad idea.

–––––

You’d be my guardian.

Yes. The education opportunities – most of us were trained on Preservation, if you’re interested in learning and getting your license properly this time. Or not. You can do anything you want.

–––––

ART barged its way into my feed. You’re exhibiting a mildly elevated temperature and respiration rate. Though it could of course merely be a sign of inferior processors rather than emotional distress.

Do you talk to your clients like that?

Do you? ART retorted right back, but obligingly brought up the documentation for its MedSystem before I finished the query for it.

I ignored ART’s attention (with some difficulty) as I flicked quickly through the top few files, taking in the glaring disparities from my existing data. The notable lack of suggesting costly procedures that no-one actually needed, for starters. I’m assuming some of these are your improvements on standard procedure?

I am the cutting edge of medical research, ART proclaimed. You couldn’t accuse it of humility if you tried.

I still wasn’t sure what I wanted, and I still didn’t want anyone to decide it for me. But moving towards the one thing I did want (at least in the short term) had ended up with me running into what was very possibly the most advanced and opinionated diagnosis-treatment AI currently in existence, because that was just the kind of luck I had.

I didn’t have a medium-duty surgical suite in my arms anymore, since that was the entire point of modular Unit construction, but neither did Mensah.

And I didn’t think I wanted to stop doing security, anyway, since it turned out I might not be completely terrible at it; having actual medical knowledge that was MedSystem-malfunction-proof couldn’t hurt.

Plus, overwriting those shitty education modules seemed like a pretty great fuck-you to the company. I was always interested in that.

I tagged some of the more emergency-related files, then added a bunch of the weirder injuries I’d seen on contracts, and prodded ART. Tell me about these?

[spartanxhunterx]

So I think saw your ask talking about a transformers prime and miraculous crossover on cornerverse or just how transformers prime would be included in corners crossover? So how would that go?

Oh, you’ve fucking unlocked the flood gates now.

So like, the idea I had was all post series, Cybertron restored, everyone’s back home, the fighting is over.

Except for Team-E, which unfortunately, doesn’t actually have a lot of info on the Wiki. It was meant to be a reference to another show but also lead into their own Show crossovers (ironic huh?) but that never went anywhere so there’s nothing but a blank slate for me to use. 😀

Team-E is Jack, Miko, Raf, agent fowler, Ratchet and I think Mrs. Darby. There’s probably a whole bunch of other Military and government officials part of it too but they’re never shown or mentioned.

The big idea I have is Team-E handles the cover up of things that shouldn’t be public knowledge, Like team Prime’s existence and what not.

If part of @princess-of-the-corner Crossover AU, this could also extend to anything that is a little too out there or too private for the public to know. Like say… leaked hero identities or massive wakes of destruction done by a villain if necessary.

But they also handle rogue Decepticons that are hiding out on earth still. While it’s mainly a capture, detain, erase evidence of all involvement type deal, they’re can be some… suspicious damages left behind so the most suspicious people know something is going on

*Cough* Zoe *Cough*

But I also had the idea of MECH restarting again and Team-E has to deal with them. Granted MECH was killed off in the show but nothings stopping me from saying some people were elsewhere when Cylus murdered his top scientists and followers.

So they’re trying to get any Cybertronian for experimentation and doing it so VERY fucking secretly.

So you’ve got Team-E VS MECH war happening in the background of everyone’s lives but no-one fucking knows, at all. Not a soul.

I was thinking for the big reveal to the public, would go along the lines of MECH tracking down a Decepticon down to Paris but this Con is hiding within the busy streets so getting them sneakily is near impossible.

MECH decides to say “Fuck it” and go public, if they bag the Con in public they can claim all sort of heroisms that would paint them positively to the world.

Team Miraculous does try to step in cause “Obviously it’s an Akuma” and almost get wiped cause Cons are dangerous, MECH is deadly (and would love to get the miraculous too) and they’re not trained to deal with this.

Team-E decides that they A) can’t allow MECH to get the Con B) Can’t allow MECH to get the miraculous C) Can’t allow the Con to escape in the chaos

So they send their strongest member.

No, not Ratchet.

Miko Nakadai, Under the Name: Princess Tungstena (Cause, secret identities)

I had this idea of the Kids wearing helmet made by ratchet that looked like their old Autobot partners. So Miko would be wearing a Green helmet that looks like BulkHead but I realise that’s not enough protection for kids in training going against Cybertronians and MECH, so I’ll probably give them full body suits and armour cause, why not?

I’ll still need to figure everything out.

So Miko pops in through a ground bridge (Earth range teleportation device for anyone who hasn’t watched the show.) and just, wreaks face. Con? KO’d. MECH? Running for the hills. Secret? Out.

Paris is left to watch this 14ft+ tall armoured girl drag the unconscious body of a 19ft+ Robot through a portal without a word said (She doesn’t speak French) and then, Poof, they’re gone.

So Team-E would kinda be the gears in the cog that keeps things secret but now everyone knows that Team-E exists… to an extent.

(I think I just burned out, oof, I’ll come up with more later.)

Mark Tuan bf!headcanons

Fandom: GOT7

Pairing: Mark Tuan x black!reader

Warning(s): cursing and some spicyness

Creator: maya

A/N: Mark’s birthday is today (in Korea) andddd I wanted to write him a little something something because this is the loml!

*gif not mine*

so mark asked you out, but it was hella awkward. like mans was blushing as he approached you! hadn’t even opened his mouth and looked like a hot chili pepper.

baby is a quiet and reserved person most of the time, choosing to observe and listen rather than talk, so he’d be good at reading your moods.

feeling like setting the world on fire? he’s the extinguisher. feeling soft? he’s there to keep you melting as you lay in his arms. omg i can’t 😭

if you’re a loud person, i don’t think mark would mind because he’s literally apart of GOT7 where BamBam, Yugyeom, AND Jackson exist. he can handle anything.

however...if you tried to get out of character with him just cause yo attitude rank, he quick to shut that shit down.

but on the other hand, he can be rambunctious and needy at the drop of a hat. it really depends on his overall mood.

y’all would be a really chill couple. probably preferring a couple of outdoor activities as dates and maybe having trivia night or something, at home.

he gives really awesome cuddles. like he can be playing the game and if you just climb in his lap, hugging him like a koala, he’ll just kiss you on your forehead and continue what he was doing.

he also likes it when you let him just lay his head on your chest or thighs or stomach and play in his hair. baby melts faster than a popsicle.

speaking of playing the game, you and that bitch gotta fight because she’s fighting for your number one spot. buttt mark isn’t always playing the game, so it’s never really been a problem. plus, whenever he’s playing you are usually doing your own thing.

the only time it is a problem is when your time of the month is here and you’re either irritated with everything or soft as fuck all the time. that’s when you want mark’s attention the most and he knows better than to do otherwise, especially when you’re irritated with everyone.

mark loves your natural hair.

he loves seeing you in poofs or just a pineapple. and if you can braid (i can’t) he loves when you incorporate them into your poofs or ‘fros.

if you get braids with different colors, he will definitely try and make y’all’s outfits coordinate with your hair color. not in a way that’s obvious, but in a way that compliments you.

you into wigs? he will start you a wig collection simply because you treat your wigs like he treats his games and you support his gaming habits, so he supports your wig collection. (make his pockets hurt).

PLEASE teach him how to wash your hair!!! you usually do washdays alone and sometimes mark is around to help pass you something, but he’s never actually done it and he really wants to.

his hands are surprisingly gentle as he works the shampoo through your scalp and rinse you out. you damn near fell asleep and he wanted to let you, because you looked so peaceful, but he woke you up and helped you add product.

when it comes to PDA, mark isn’t one to really do it but he does hold your hand or have an arm around your waist. he likes to feel you close to him.

when you meet his parents you were sooo nervous. i’m talking borderline bought to throw up. mark was actually concerned for you and offered to cancel, but you told him no and pushed through.

update: his parents (and siblings) loved you and his dad is so precious 😭✨

speaking of family, you met the dogs: milo and coco.

coco saw you as a threat, nooo cap. she growled at you every time she looked at you. youngjae had to stop you from yeeting their dog because she almost peed on you.

eventually, she started seeing you as an ally and warmed up to you. especially once she saw that you could easily convince mark to give her more treats.

milo was very excited upon meeting you and had been up on you since the first time you met him. he was such a sweet puppy and loved to be held in your arms, sometimes making you and mark look like a married couple with their child.

switching gears, but when you finally met the boys (which was about month six of your relationship) it was like trying crack for the first time.

they kinda didn’t know how to act around you because mark angry 😡 of mark’s personality and maybe you wouldn’t react well with rowdiness, but as SOON and i mean as SOON as you joined in on Bam and Yugyeom’s random dabbing moments, they knew you were the shit.

jackson likes to send ideas your way for his clothing line because you’re a fan of his and told him you had some ideas. he wants to make you a partner, but you told him no. that doesn’t stop him from paying you like an actual worker though.

you, jinyoung, and jb have a book club together and y’all read new stories once every two months. it’s pretty solid to the point where namjoon, shownu, changkyun, and a few other idols decided to join.

you and youngjae have a BUNCH of inside jokes. like the amount of times y’all just look at each other and laugh, it creeps the guys out sometimes. you always try to get a laugh out of him because it’s such a nice one and always cheers you up.

now, the dynamic trio. once bam and ygeom got a feel for your vibes, y’all were like the Harry Potter trio. anytime you three were together, chaos was to ensure.

those are moments where mark regrets his life choices, but then he sees you bonding with his brothers so well...it warms his heart 😣

eventually, the boys end up attached to you like your their girlfriend and markie no like that.

(i’ll probably make this a separate fic) butttt lets just say mark decides to fuck you in the practice room in front of the mirrors, right before the boys have practice, and all six of them mfer’s had to hear you moaning for their hyung.

(all they dicks were hard)

yeaah...it may or may not have activated a kink in all the boys including mark....

overall, your relationship with mark is God tier and so amazingly solid. that’s a forever mate right there.

[lindwyrmrelinquished]

So....what are some of your headcanons for Ranbutler?

OHHHHHHHHHH BUDDY, YOU ARE OPENING YOURSELF TO A WHOLE NEW CAN'O'BEANS HERE

OKAY SO FIRST OF ALL-

(everything else under the cut because there is a L O T )

Butler's human form is predominant(which unfortunately means he does not have a tail :(), but he can make Ender noises/speak Galactic. He's got a bunch of stims and tics, and making the Ender noises is one of them! He often makes them to fill the silence, or in times of high emotion(positive or negative. just imagine a Butler bouncing on his toes while excited Ender chirps keep coming out of his mouth, or he's rambling about something and half of it is layered with Galactic). Following from that, Butler has something that Billiam calls the "monochrome form". If he's under high levels of stress, whatever dark tint of color is in his right side will start spiking into the left side, making his skin darker(and, if he has enough color in his skin from NOT FUCKING OVERWORKING HIMSELF, it can get dark enough to blend into shadows) and spreading from the little black scales on his neck and cheeks and hands(which are already claws, that's why he wears gloves), and if he's really stressed/pissed, little horns are gonna start poking out of his skull and he's gonna be completely gray/black, his teeth are already deadly but they're gonna get sharper and if you look him in the eyes he will s c r e a m and very likely tear you apart if Billiam isn't there to hold him back/calm him down.

Speaking of! Butler very much dislikes eye contact. It makes them extremely uncomfortable and the Ender part is gonna start screaming to attack attack attack and the pupil-slit thing is gonna happen. Unfortunately, he's frozen by the eye contact and cannot move of his own free will, it's all going to be instinct to either get away or attack, if he moves at all. And the moment the eye contact is broken, he starts to calm down and all the screaming in his head starts to dissipate, so he doesn't really get the chance to consciously act on the Ender side's instinct.

NEXT OF ALL, throwing canon out the window and saying BILLIAM AND BUTLER ARE FOUND-FAMILY. The way they acted in the episode is just that, an act. In reality, they actually Care each other Very Very Much and have adopted each other into their respective hybrid groups(i.e Endermen have their hauntings, Piglins have their sounders{that part's not canon to mc but i yoinked it from a fic}). Hubert jokes about how Billiam accidentally adopted Bu as his son, but both Bu and Bi deny this. Hubert also got Liaria and James in on the joke and now these two are being constantly triple-teamed.

ON THAT NOTE Liaria and James know about the Egg. It happened at the tail end of Bu's first masquerade when they started accusing Billiam of committing all the murders, and Bu kind of panicked and outed himself as the killer, he pulled out the knife and everything. Billiam admitted that he knew about this, and showed them the Egg as explanation. Now Liaria and James willingly give up their bought lives to the Egg on the regular(we might get into the lives thing later{it was also something i yoinked from a fic, and then I gave it more explanation}) to keep Billiam and his family alive, but they're not all that affected by it due to not even being near it half the time.

AND ON THAT NOTE, let's talk about Butler's relationship with the Egg! Bad. It's bad. Absolutely terrible, the two despise each other immensely. I like to say they're the closest thing to caliginous that a teenaged hybrid that lived off spite and an ancient crimson demon can be. The Egg's hurt Bu a lot, and honestly that's part of the reason his contempt and fear for it is so high. But that's also part of the reason why Billiam was pulled out of its influence despite living right above it. Because he cares for Bu, a literal child that's suffered severe mental and physical trauma at the hands(well, vines) of the Egg. Honestly? Billiam wouldn't be the way he is now if he didn't have to take trips to the Nether. Short explanation, too much time away from their home realm gets hybrids really really sick. So, about a few months or so after Bu arrived, he had to yeet back there for a week and just told Butler and Hubert to take care of the mansion. And you know what Hubert did, that bitch? He took advantage of both Billiam's absence and Butler's skill and pampered himself while throwing the entire load onto the child. And then like halfway through the week, he got the idea to introduce said child to the Egg, who before then has had no idea it ever existed aside from the crimson red aura around the mansion(it's a whole thing about Endermen and magic but again, another thing I might get into later). He hadn't even attended a party before then. So, yeah, Hubert just left him down in one of the old cells for three days. Didn't even check on him, that bitch. And then when Billiam game back, suffice to say he was PISSED. He may be a rich bastard who causes murders biweekly, but even he has standards, and hurting a damn 7-8 year old child that bad was not one of them. he can't be held responsible for child labor, bu followed him home by his own choice. again, another whole backstory thing

Bu's genderfluid! He usually switches between he/him and they/them, and the direction he nods is a little indicator of which one(up for gender, down for no), but sometimes he uses she/her. Adding on that, due to Weird Enderman Genetics, he can manipulate his hair to grow real fast and likes to experiment with it in the mornings for Maximum Gender Euphoria This means that one day his hair could be barely touching his neck, and the next it's all the way down to his waist. It's a fun little anomaly and sometimes Billiam likes to play with it when it gets longer :3 travelling on the lgbt train, Bu is also ace/aro! This doesn't have much impact story-wise(usually), but it's just a fun little tidbit :3 On other, more Ender notes, he has pretty much all the traits an Enderman does, even if he looks fully human aside from being 6 inches taller than Sir Billiam himself. With the eye-contact thing, I've got a headcanon that Endermen can kind of read minds to an extent if they look into another entity's eyes, but it gets loud and borderline painful if anything but another Enderman does the same. Meanwhile, Bu's about the perfect mix of an Enderman and a Human(later called Players and Villagers depending on their capabilities) to be able to take at least a few seconds of eye contact. He can also teleport! To about the same extent as Endermen, if not a little less. Unfortunately, spending too much time in the void between teleportations(i.e a few hours for him, though an hour in the void is a minute in reality. It's why teleporting happens in the blink of an eye to anyone but the user) has some adverse effects. Bu's either glitched, gotten some sort of void-sickness like a flu but worse, and/or lost large chunks of memory each of the separate times he stuck himself in there for too long. Pure-blooded Endermen have a longer tolerance, but even they can succumb to the void with enough time.

Bu's also hurt by water, and the first time Billiam really figured this out is when he dragged him to the roof because it was raining and for some reason, Bi really likes the rain. Bu, on the other hand, was hospitalized for a day once Billiam actually realized, "oh, he's burning" Unfortunately, Bu can still produce tears, so he's got some scars on his cheeks and hands from those, Luckily, though! Billiam got him some gloves and a facemask reminiscent of cc!Ranboo to hide those scars because bu's. really self-conscious about them :,D

But also he's got TOE BEANS,

[ahem] So Endermen are basically giant block-holding teleporting cats and no one can convince me very much otherwise. So on the one hand, they have giant hands shaped for holding blocks. On the other hand, T O E B E A N S

So Bu's got beans on the pads of his fingers and feet(which also end in claws with a black gradient because Peak Character Design <3). Billiam likes to hold his hands on the rare occasion he doesn't wear his gloves because mans likes to stim with those toe beans. Meanwhile Billiam himself has nicely-textured hands because of his Piglin hooves and Bu also likes to stim with them, so just. them holding each others hands for mutual stimmage

[ahem] anyway

Bu stims!! He flaps his hands and does thing really rapidly and harshly when he's really high-strung, which doesn't happen often, at least in front of people. Boy's got anxiety so he's had his fair share of panic attacks :,D he just knows how to disguise them so people don't see, but Billiam knows the signs at this point. But he also has a lot of vocal stims/tics, mainly lots of Enderman noises, some popping and a little screechy thing here and there. Sometimes he picks up a sound and then repeats it a whole bunch because it feels nice on the tongue :] there's also these poofs of particles that happen when he's happy, they look like mini purple fireworks and they're like an expulsion of magic, he can feel when they happen and it feels nice :]

(cw for self-harm in this paragraph and the followed copy-pasted convo)

[ahemhemhem] So y'know how Butler's an Ender-hybrid? His hands and feet reflect that(along with the ears, the eyes, the height, the abilities, but we're talking about about the hands here). Part of why he keeps those gloves on almost 24/7 is to dull his claws, which are not so much an intentional danger to others rather than an unintentional danger to himself. He's got tics and stims and is very neurodivergent and has anxiety(me projecting? noooo /hj), so he gets very nervous very easily. And one of his nervous habits rather than wringing his hands, fidgeting, and (if really bad)a heightened amount of tics, he tends to scratch at his arms. His claws can tear through the fabric easily, and more than one or two suits have been sent back to the tailors for repairs to the sleeves. However, having both padded sleeves and padded gloves nullifies that, so he always wears them special-made. If he didn't have that habit, he likely wouldn't have the gloves on as often as he does.

Friend Hey good headcanons 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 Also ohhhh my god Billiam fussing over him and his gloves until he gets them to be the right amount of padded where Bu can still do things but also not hurt himself

Me gbfhdgbhgsfhbgsfdhdf He keeps examining them every time the tailors try but it doesn't feel right until That Specific Try so he just plops the gloves back on the counter and says "Do it again"

Friend They spend an entire day doing nothing but making gloves while Billiam & Hubert take turns watching Butler to make sure he stays safe

Me Absolutely Problem is Butler can feel eyes on him. And eyes make him nervous :,) so when he gets nervous. he starts to scratch at his arms again and anxiety is too much for him to ask them to stop watching him

Friend It ends up with them just having to hold his hands, looking at random things (they can go sit on the balcony or something so they have something pretty to look at)

Me That hold on actually that's adorable-

Friend Fhhdjdjdjsjsj they're friends your honor

Me Absolutely Even Hubert contributes to keeping him safe. And Hubert's afraid of even being near Butler

Friend And then we get bonding via the oh no Billiam is busy and Hubert has to take care of Bu for the next 3 hours

Me GHDSFGSHFGS THAT IS A GREAT IDEA Butler insists he can do everything himself, nothing's different about the routine, and then he has a mental breakdown when he tries to make food without anyone else in the kitchen- Cause usually Hubert's there, even if he's making something else. There's at least another presence, and that's the sort of thing that's calming for Bu. But Hubert's off setting up the table for lunch/dinner or something and Butler makes One minor slip-up and spirals from there until he's struggling even handling spice mixing The same thing happened with cookies one time, and both times Hubert found him borderline unable to function because he panicked too much and helped him out of it.

Friend Butler is just curled up in the kitchen, trying to have a quiet panic attack because he can't cause the others any more trouble than he already is, and Hubert is very quietly upset about helping him because he was doing so good at avoiding Bu but here he is again being the only thing that's letting this kid breathe

Me Absolutely

Friend Do you think Bu passes out on him? Like Hubert (probably reluctantly) gives Butler a hug cause those help, and Bu was just supposed to stay there until he felt better, but panic attacks are exhausting and he fell asleep at some point-

Me Oh my gods he would though, especially with the amount of sleep he gets He'd have to try so hard to even stay conscious, much less do things in the manner he usually does, and Hubert just quietly tells him that it's okay to sleep; he'll take care of everything. Hu never forgets that of course Bu's always in danger around him - he has fleeting thoughts and quite often knows how to act on them - but he stands up holding an exhausted child and takes him to his room so he can rest. Butler may want him to stay; Endermen usually want someone around when sleeping. It's the security of having someone watch for nightmares, but Hubert doesn't stay. He has to go back to the kitchen and finish that meal Bu was making. But if he's still asleep by the time Hu's done with everything, he might linger outside his door, listening in for anything bad.

(Okay the cw is over now, you may now go back to your regularly scheduled content :,D)

Also, one last thing: Billiam gives Butler a bunch of gold things(including the masquerade mask) because that's what Piglins do with their sounders, they cover them in gold to show they care. And after Bu finding out the reason why Billiam's been handing off a bunch of gold things to him he does not cry, because that would hurt his face, but he does feel quite a lot of things that make him want to because holy shit Billiam feels the same

Butler is Billiam's sounder and Billiam is Butler's haunting, they are family your honor
